pico-sdk-bindings

Cross-platform, gap-free streaming from any Pico Technology oscilloscope

Note: These are not official Pico Technology packages

These packages wrap all current Pico oscilloscope drivers in a high-level, common API written in Rust. This API is compiled to native code and exposed to multiple programming languages through simple C bindings.

Rust

Check out the Rust libraries in their own repository.

Building & Packaging

The Rust code will build and test on any platform via cargo build and cargo test.

We pre-compile binaries for common platforms and architectures via GitHub Actions.

• On Windows, macOS and Linux we run node scripts/build.js which compiles the Rust code to native libraries.
• For the final step we run node scripts/bindings.js which copies the native libraries to the correct directories and builds/packages for each language.
• On git tag creation, node scripts/publish.js publishes the packages to the respective package managers.

If you run the above steps manually, the resulting packages will only support your current platform. The dotnet build currently fails if any native artifacts are missing so you'll likely need to modify PicoSDK.csproj to build locally.
